Introduction
A good indoor climate is important We often take natural resources such as fresh air for granted. We must however remain frugal with this essential resource and mindful of maintaining a responsible balance between the design of good ventilation systems and considering energy consumption and well thought out material usage and production methods. Our strategy for many years has been to develop energy-efficient products with integral energy recovery and EC technology-based fans in order to be able to offer a product portfolio fully satisfying current and future requirements. Systemair’s low energy consumption EC-products carry the Green Ventilation registered trademark. Energy recovery In areas of the country that experience moderate to severe weather conditions, Systemair ventilation systems employ effective energy recovery that returns energy from the exhaust air to the supply air. A good rotating energy exchanger can recover up to 90% of the total energy present. Energy-efficient fans Today, a new generation of fan motors contributes to a dramatic reduction in
energy consumption, as much as 50% in some cases. The new EC motors are better suited for speed control functions, which is where considerable energy savings can be made. A bonus of this is also quieter operation. Pressure The design of the duct system and the unit has an impact on the required system pressure. There is often a lot of energy to be saved here.
Free cooling Free cooling is used to save energy by using the cold outdoor air to cool down the building during the night. Quality-certified products How can you choose the right solution and product when there are so many alternatives? Nowadays, most major suppliers are ISO9001-certified and have AHRI-marked products, but is that enough?
Systemair’s most modern development centre in Canada
At Systemair we have gone one step further and work hard to ensure that our products maintain a high standard and are approved by various bodies. For units, this may mean Eurovent certification or other local certification for the country in question. To achieve this, you need resources and expertise.
Our North American Research centre is now equipped with our largest environmental chamber with the capability of reaching temperatures ranging from -40°F to +104°F (-40°C to +40°C). It offers designers the opportunity to test out new concepts and validate designs in house. We all know that equipment alone doesn’t make products and it takes good people and teamwork to make everything run smoothly.
As with all business, it is crucial find better ways to meet client demand and change is inevitable. But with change comes opportunity and this why these times are so exciting for Systemair. As well as the test centre in Bouctouche, there are also test facilities in Sweden, Germany, Denmark, Slovakia and the United States.

Introduction Offices Office buildings generally require good ventilation during the day as well as heat recovery and conditioning of supply air depending on external conditions. Ventilation systems with demand control should be considered for offices where staffing levels vary. As a rule, offices develop an excess of heat produced by people, lighting, solar radiation, computer equipment, etc. If the office is in a city environment, a higher filtration class should be used. In an office environment, there is also considerable need to reduce the noise generated by the ventilation system.
Schools/day nurseries A school environment means a lot of people present at certain times of the day, and generally there are relatively large variations. This means that it should be possible to use demand control for the ventilation system. Normally, heat recovery is warranted.
Shops As a rule, the number of people in a shop changes constantly throughout the day, making a control-on-demand ventilation system the sensible option. Recirculating air in combination with carbon dioxide control (CO2) and heat recovery can be one optimised solution for these types of premises. When there are few people present, CO2 levels will be low and an increased amount of return air can be mixed into the system. As the number of people present increases, the amount of return air is reduced and replaced with fresh outdoor air.
Introduction Industry Industrial premises will often have high airflows if the work carried out there generates high levels of air pollution. If the pollutants are also aggressive, there may be requirements that affect the choice of material used. Systemair offers products for different environmental classes that can cope with tough environments. Filtration of processed air can be adapted to suit specific demands.
Hotels The requirements for ventilation in hotels are characterised by demands relating to fire protection, demand control and low noise levels. The choice of air handling unit will be affected by these demands. What is important here is good functions for speed control and quiet operation. In addition to quiet air handling units with demand control, Systemair can also supply fans and dampers for fire protection.
Healthcare premises Healthcare premises can encompass numerous activities, everything from operating rooms to overnight wards. The activity determines the requirements. Operating rooms will have stringent demands for cleanliness and ventilation. Wards require low noise levels. If several areas are served by the same system, the unit must have demand control and possibly even sub-systems. Systemair’s range of air handling units can satisfy most requirements relating to healthcare premises, whether these have to do with air cleanliness, noise levels or demand control.

Topvex FR is a range of energy recovery ventilators with a low overall height and double rotating heat exchangers. The units are especially designed for maximum energy transfer at the lowest operating costs.
RVAZ4..24 p. 92
Topvex FR800-1600 is a series of efficient ventilation units designed for offices, shops, schools, daycare centres or similar premises. The units are designed for very low energy use and high efficiency. Drain pans are not required, making the unit very flexible to install.
TG-UH p. 91
It could not be simpler! The units are supplied preprogrammed, tested and ready to install. Connect the duct system, any external components, the power supply, and set the timer and fan speed. Installation is now complete. Low overall height The unique design with double rotating heat exchangers makes it possible to produce the units with a low overall height. Using the enclosed suspension device, the unit can be installed in a false ceiling. To further simplify the use when mounted in a false ceiling, the hinges can be split, and the panels opened as doors.
Pre-heater The pre-heater enables the system to perform in extremely cold climates to preserve performance and ensure a continuous supply of air. It does this by warming the outdoor air before it enters the energy recovery wheel.
EC fan motors Unlike motors with frequency converters, EC motors ensure excellent efficiency even at low speeds. This contributes to low operating costs. EC motors are also very quiet when running at high and low speeds.
IR24-P p. 92
E-OR p. 91
The preheater is designed to keep the temperature above the frost threshold while remaining within the temperature range of the system.

Air Handling Units applications The Topvex FR solution is a system application for public buildings such as schools, daycares and libraries consisting of several rooms where good indoor air quality enhances learning and concentration quite considerably. Since the indoor climate varies based on the number of people present, the load caused by occupants varies substantially as the day progresses. This normally requires complicated solutions to maintain the correct airflow and temperature for every time period in each individual room. The application is based on having the Topvex FR unit supply the rooms with preheated air at a constant supply air temperature of 61-66°F (16-19°C). The pressure in the supply duct is kept constant and the airflow to the extract fan is slave controlled so that the supply air and extract air will be kept in balance. The extract air from each room leaves via extract diffusers, doors or other openings and is then evacuated at a central location. At room level the Corrigo control system controls temperatures and airflow in response to signals from wall temperature sensors or CO2-sensors, or presence detectors. This intelligent solution holds in check a demand controlled and substantially energysaving ventilation system.

It could not be simpler! The units are supplied preprogrammed, tested and ready to install. Connect the the duct system, any external components, the power supply, and set the timer and fan speed. Installation is now complete.
E-OR p. 91
Easy to inspect To make inspections and maintenance even easier both fans and rotating heat exchangers are easy to remove. All electrical cables are fitted with quick connectors so the fans can be released quickly and easily.
Space-saving top connection With Topvex TR the ducts are connected on the top of the unit. These units take up little space and are easy to install in existing premises. Compared with roof-mounted units Topvex TR is easier to install, as you don’t need to hire cranes for lifting the unit into place or cut holes in the roof. With one unit placed inside the building, service and maintenance are also simplified.

EC fan motors Unlike motors with frequency converters, EC motors ensure excellent efficiency even at low speeds. This contributes to low operating costs. EC motors are also very quiet when running at high and low speeds. Pre-heater The pre-heater enables the system to perform in extremely cold climates to preserve performance and ensure a continuous supply of air. It does this by warming the outdoor air before it enters the energy recovery wheel. The preheater is designed to keep the temperature above the frost threshold while remaining within the temperature range of the system.

Air Handling Units APPLICATION The indoor climate in airports makes it necessary to satisfy special needs. Since waiting passengers spend time in departure lounges, adequate ventilation is required in such places. As for air volume, the needs vary at different times of the day. However, in the majority of cases, peak ventilation is needed at morning and evening times. Most airport buildings have considerable floor area and high ceilings. The Topvex TR unit, AJD Jet Nozzles and CRSP Swirl diffusers meet these demands effectively. The Topvex TR contains an energy recovery wheel and builtin control system. The duct system is equipped with IR Iris dampers to maintain the balance between supply and exhaust air volumes. The control system can be programmed various ways to meet energy-savings requirements depending on occupant traffic. Diffusers for air distribution are designed for hot and cold air.

These units are exclusively engineered to meet today’s latest energy requirements by using the most efficient impeller design and a state of the art rotating heat exchanger. All units are equipped with a simple pre-configured control system compatible with most building automation systems. Roof curbs are also available to offer a proper fit and seal to simplify the installation. Double wall contruction with 20 gauge galvanized steel. Insulated with 1” (25 mm) fiberglass for condensation control. The rotor matrix is made of a corrosion resistant aluminum alloy that is composed of alternating corrugated and flat, continuously wound layers of uniform widths that guarantees laminar air flow, and low static pressure loss. The rotor wheel is reinforced with spokes, welded at the hub and perimeter to prevent any uneven run out during normal operations. All corrugated surfaces are coated with a thin non-migrating adsorbent layer. Fans EC-motors with backward inclined impellers offer superior energy performance. Pre-heater The pre-heater enables the system to perform in extremely cold climates to preserve performance and ensure a continuous supply of air. It does this by warming the outdoor air before it enters the energy recovery wheel. The preheater is designed to keep the temperature above the frost threshold while remaining within the temperature range of the system. SPECIFICATION data

Air Handling Units applications One of the most significant indicators of a sports facility’s quality is the indoor climate. The air quality is directly related to the well-being of the people doing sport activities. Performance always improves if comfort and air quality are maintained properly. The other issue for facilities operated all day long is the optimization of energy consumption. In this example, the gymnasium rooms are ventilated with ERV RT-EC Roof Top units as required, connected to a centrally located cooling system. The unit supplies the fresh air along ducts and supply IKD diffusers and extracts used air through NOVA-R wall grills. EC-motors with integrated control, together with a total energy recovery wheel, optimize unit operation and maintain the room climate for every period of the day.

• Airflows up to 6.400 cfm • High capacity fan • 100% controllable fan • Flexible solution • Safe operation • Low noise emissions
MTP 10 p. 91
The MUB commercial inline fan is designed to be an efficient, flexible and versatile supply or exhaust ventilation system. MUB fans use EC-motors with integral electronic control via 0 10V contact. This contact can be controlled through the built-in potentiometr in the fan’s electrical box or through external MTP10 speed control unit. It allows them to run in the optimal operating range to create the desired airflow thus less energy is needed to operate the fan. Flexible solution The flexibility offered by the removable panels allows the MUB’s airflow direction to be selected on site. Straight through or 90 degree airflow paths are possible. Any outlet side can be chosen.
Demand-oriented
Built-in protection The motor is integrated with electronic protection to ensure safe operation. Reduced energy: more than just air
All models are equipped with impellers with backward curved aluminum blades with reduced noise emissions. The casing consists of an aluminum frame with fiberglass reinforced nylon corners; highly shock-resistant.
The double skin panels are manufactured from galvanized steel with 7/9 inches (20 mm) polyolefin insulation for excellent sound reduction and thermal properties. The insulated space between the panels prevents condensation on the screws.
The fans’ optimized workload will reduce wear and tear, giving the ventilation system a longer lifespan and reducing maintenance costs.

The special feature of EC fans is their energy-saving potential not only at full load, but especially at partial-load. When operating at partial-load, the energy used is much lower than with an asynchronous motor of equivalent output. Reduced energy usage guarantees a drop in operating costs. The K EC series is designed for installation in ducts. All the K-fans have minimum 1” (25 mm) long spigot connections. The fans have backward-curved blades and external rotor motors (EC). The FK mounting clamp facilitates easy installation and removal, and prevents the transfer of vibration to the duct. The fans are delivered with a pre-wired potentiometer (0-10V) that allows you to easily find the desired working point. Systemair Mfg. Inc. certifies that the models shown herein are licensed to bear the AMCA Seal. The ratings are based on tests and procedures performed in accordance with AMCA Publication 211 and comply with the requirements of the AMCA Certified Ratings Program.
Motor protection is integrated in the electronics of the motor. The casing is manufactured from galvanised sheet steel with the seams folded to give the fan a close to airtight casing. This allows for the possibility of outdoor mounting and wet room applications.

MTP 10 p. 91
The DVC P/S roof fans are driven by EC-external rotor motors with high efficiency. The input voltage for single phase units can vary between 200 and 277V, for three phase units between 380 and 480V. All motors are suitable for 60Hz and are suspended on effective vibration dampers. The DVC-P versions have integrated pressure sensors and the electronics are programmed for a constant pressure operation. Motor protection is integrated in the electronics of the motor; no additional external motor protection device is needed. Energy saving made easy
Systemair Mfg. Inc. certifies that the DVC Series shown herein are licensed to bear the AMCA Seal. The ratings shown are based on tests and procedures performed in accordance with AMCA Publication 211 and Publication 311 if sound is also certified and comply with the requirements of the AMCA Certified Ratings Program.
Looking at today’s control systems, it quickly becomes clear that the use of conventional speed controllers using variable frequency drives can have problems both large and small. For applications that are noise sensitive, speed control at low speed is almost impossible when using variable frequency systems. When using frequency inverters, missing signal information can cause problems with motors. Often the installation of sine filters and shielded cables, necessary for a trouble-free operation of the motor when used with a frequency inverter, is not given consideration even at the design stage.

Fans applications Nowadays, many residential buildings comprising several stories are equipped with ventilation systems to pull used air out of apartments. Most of the time they are sized for the maximum number of people present. The level of occupancy varies according to the time of day in question, which means that the installed ventilation system may be oversized, costing both money and energy unnecessarily. For this reason, Systemair offers a system that is demand-controlled with regard to occupancy and time of day. The DVC Roof fan is designed to exhaust used air in systems with a high static pressure in the ducts. The fan has a pressure control unit, which turns out to be a real “wonder control”. Together with BHC Self regulating valves installed in kitchens and bathrooms, the DVC-P Roof fan controls the exhausted air volume based on the pressure difference in the ducts.

BHC Return air self regulating motorized valve with motion and humidity sensor Function BHC 4 is a motorized damper with integrated motion (PIR) and humidity sensor for bathroom installations. It may be installed either on the wall (in a vertical or horizontal position), or the ceiling. The BHC extract unit offers a range of possible airflow settings to meet specific needs, or regulatory requirements. The fixed shutter can be set at one of six positions, with an average step between each setting of + 17 cfm (maximum = + 85 cfm). This can be very useful to compensate for a lack of pressure. The humidity and the motion sensors work independently of each other. The damper opens whenever motion is indicated and closes 25 min after the last indication. The humidity sensor controls the fully modulating damper from RH 30% to 75%. The movement sensor is dependent on a power supply and the BHC uses 12V AC. The humidity sensors will open the damper regardless of a power supply.
Dimensions
Spigot Versions Ø4” (100 mm) and Ø5” (125 mm with the adapter). Accessories • Ø4/5” inlet adapter • 12V transformer Airflow/Pressure Chart Enables the ability to adapt the fixed shutter position. Supplied in installation instructions. Buzzer Informs the occupant when the battery needs to be replaced (i.e. when the battery level is below 2.2V). This buzzer rings when the presence sensor or the switch is activated. Possibility to connect a dedicated “CAL” for 12VAC supply. 2 x 1.5 Volts AAA LR03 Batteries

Elegant AT Supply step diffuser Function The Elegant has been especially developed for providing a draught-free air supply from the rear walls of offices, hotel rooms, etc. The guide jet prevents the air stream from falling into the occupied zone before it has reached an acceptable temperature. Max. temperature difference ΔT=10K is permissible. The Elegant is also suitable for VAV systems, as the distribution pattern is maintained across the entire flow area. Design The Elegant is manufactured from steel and consists of a convex front plate with perforations and guide jet opening. The front plate is finished in the standard white powder-coating (RAL 9010-80).
Versions The Elegant is available in sizes 4” (100 mm) and 5” (125 mm). The Elegant AT has a perforated front plate. It can be mounted directly in a T-piece or preembedded bend. The air flow can be adjusted by using different combinations of plastic plugs. Mounting The diffuser is installed directly onto the spiral duct. To dismantle the supply air unit, turn the unit and pull straight out. Selection Table The table below shows the general product performance.

The connection transition KRC is manufactured from galvanized sheet metal and has a perforated metal sheet for pressure distribution and is simple to connect.
52
Design Kvadra is manufactured from aluminum with a white powder-coated finish (RAL9010). With the transition KRC (included) fits to imperial ducts 5”, 6”, 10”, 12” and 16”.
Mounting Correct adjustment requires a length of straight duct 4 times the duct diameter in front of the plenum box. The distribution unit is connected to the duct with screws or pop rivets. To dismantle the supply air unit, release the cones by gently pressing and turning the cones simultaneously. Reassemble the unit correspondingly. When assembling KRC to the Kvadra, make sure that the connection edges fit into the KRC hold down springs. Gently tap the two parts together so that the connection edges rest in the hold down springs.

TSD
Circular swirl diffuser with adjustable blades heating and cooling due to its adjustable geometry construction. Installation height is between 13 and 49 feet (4 and 15 meters). The air stream pattern (horizontal, vertical and intermittent) can be adjusted manually or by a motor. The TSD consists of an inlet assembly containing the fixed blades and frontal conic outlet and an inner assembly with an adjustable set of deflectors which are mobile. For cooling, a horizontal outlet air pattern is achieved when the blades are in the closed position. They have a vertical swirl jet stream when the deflectors are in the fully open position to achieve heating in
Function TSD is designed for comfort ventilation of large buildings. It is suitable for
the occupied zone. Intermittent positions can be achieved when the deflectors are set between the closed and fully open positions for ventilation of the occupied zone Design The TSD swirl diffusers are manufactured of sheet steel, with a standard white (RAL 9010) powder paint finish. Mounting TSD can be mounted through a transition (included) to a vertical duct, or mounted to the entry plenum and then fixed to the ceiling with threaded drop-rods.

IR / IR-F
Iris damper for measuring and adjusting airflow Function The IR is an iris damper for measuring and adjusting air flow. The IR has the following specifications: low noise level, centrically formed air flow and fixed test points for precise measurements. The IR-F models are iris dampers fitted with a motor designed for controlling the air flow using two predetermined settings. The minimum and maximum air flow settings are adjusted with the help of a measuring nipple, and are fixed mechanically with damper stops. The IR-F models have a low sound level and produce a centrically patterned airflow. They are ideal for use as adjustable, motorized dampers. The damper also has an adjustment aperture which can be opened completely, which means there is no need for an access door for cleaning. Available in sizes Ø4”-25”. Max temperature for IR is 158°F (70°C).
Mounting The IR or IR-F adjustment dampers must be installed in accordance with the distances required to minimise air flow deviation. The IR enables the taking of precise air flow measurements at all points including points close to duct deviations such as T junctions and bends, and points in front of other supply-air devices (see below). Protective distance before bends afterbends before T-pipes after T-pipes before supply-air devices

RPK works from -4 to 176°F (-20 to 80°C) and relative humidity up to 80%. Recommended air flow velocity is from 580 to 1570 ft/min (3 to 8 m/s) a pressure differential of Δp=2 in.wg (500 Pa). Accuracy is ±5 %(±10% for outer settings).
MOUNTING
3” 76
6” 152
Design The RPK is manufactured from galvanized sheet metal, with an aluminum blade. All steel parts are zinc plated and the spring is made from high quality steel. The sliding bearing is suitable for high temperatures and doesn´t require any lubrication. The cover of the adjusting mechanism is made from ABS plastic and the functional parts are from PA plastic. Mounting The regulator can be mounted to horizontal, diagonal or vertical ducts. The blade must always be horizontal. It is necessary to pay attention to the mounting orientation, so that the air is entering the regulator according to the arrow direction located on the regulator casing. Connecting the duct and the regulator is done according to its size with rivets of the same diameter and the connection is sealed with sealing tape. After mounting, set the required air volume by turning the working screw on the controller box.

LDR
LD
Silencer for rectangular ducts
Easily-fitted silencer for circular ducts,fitted with a connection which is compatible with a standard spiral duct. The LD effectively reduces noise in the duct. Two silencers can be used together in installations where noise reduction is critical. For the most effective noise reduction, the silencer should be fitted immediately behind a fan or bend. The silencer should be used together with an insulated fan where there is a requirement for noise reduction both in the duct and in the surroundings as a whole. Insulation thickness 2” (50 mm).
This easily-fitted silencer can be installed immediately before Topvex TR air handling units. Effectively suppresses noise transmitted through the duct. The silencer should be used together with an insulated fan where there is a requirement for noise suppression both in the duct and in the surroundings as a whole. All silencers are supplied with a universal flange suitable for PG flange 7/9“ (20 mm). NB! Ensure that the LDR silencer is mounted in the correct position. Failure to do so will result in air starvation and a high pressure drop. dimensions Front area sq. inch LDR 20-10

Theory Theory The intention of this Theory Section is to explain the basic principles of acoustics and ventilation. The theory section concludes with a description of the parts which are integral to a ventilation unit or an air-handling unit, i.e. fans, heaters, heat exchangers and filters. Explanatory texts and further information are provided in the margin. Some diagrams and formulas also feature in the margins, together with examples of their application. Fans ....................... .............................................................................................................. page 99 Heat recovery units ............ ................................................................................................. page 105 Acoustics ................................................................................................................................ page 108 Air distribution products ...................................................................................................... page 113
Theory Fans Fans are used in ventilating units to transport the air from various air intakes through the duct system to the room which is to be ventilated. Every fan must overcome the resistance created by having to force the air through ducts, bends and other ventilation equipment. This resistance causes a fall in pressure, and the size of this fall is a decisive factor when choosing the dimensions of each individual fan.
Blade profiles for radial fans The arrow indicated the impeller’s direction of rotation
Fans can be divided into a number of main groups determined by the impeller’s shape and its operating principle: radial fans, axial fans, semi-axial fans and cross-flow fans. Radial fan Radial fans are used when a high total pressure is required. The particular characteristics of a radial fan are essentially determined by the shape of the impeller and blades.
Backward curved
Figure 1: The air stream through a radial fan with forward-curved blades Backward-curved blades (B impeller): The air volume which can be delivered by backwardcurved blades varies considerably according to the pressure conditions. The blade form makes it less suitable for contaminated air. This type of fan is most efficient in a narrow range to the far left of the fan diagram. Up to 80% efficiency is achievable while keeping the fan’s sound levels low. Backward-angled straight blades (P impeller): Fans with this blade shape are well suited for contaminated air. Up to 70% efficiency can be achieved. Straight radial blades (R impeller): The blade shape prevents contaminants from sticking to the impeller even more effectively than with the P impeller. No more than 55% efficiency can be achieved with this type of fan. Forward-curved blades (F impeller): The air volume delivered by radial fans with forwardcurved blades is affected very little by changes in air pressure. The impeller is smaller than the B impeller, for example, and the fan unit consequently requires less space. Compared with the B impeller, this type of fan’s optimal efficiency is further to the right on the diagram. This means that one can select a fan with smaller dimensions by choosing a radial fan with an F impeller rather than a B impeller. An efficiency of approximately 60% can be achieved.
Straight radial
Axial fan The simplest type of axial fan is a propeller fan. A freely-rotating axial fan of this type has a very poor efficiency rating, so most axial fans are built into a cylindrical housing. Efficiency can also be increased by fitting directional vanes immediately behind the impeller to direct the air more accurately. The efficiency rating in a cylindrical housing can be 75% without directional vanes and up to 85% with them.
Forward curved
Figure 2: The air flow through an axial fan
| 99
100 | Theory Mixed flow fan Radial impellers produce a static pressure increase because of the centrifugal force acting in a radial direction. There is no equivalent pressure increase with axial impellers because the air flow is normally axial. The mixed flow fan is a mixture between radial and axial fans. The air flows in an axial direction but then is deflected 45° in the impeller. The radial velocity factor which is gained by this deflection causes a certain increase in pressure by means of the centrifugal force. Efficiency of up to 80% can be achieved.
Figure 3: The air flow through a mixed flow fan Cross-flow fan In a cross-flow fan the air flows straight across the impeller, and both the in and out flow are in the periphery of the impeller. In spite of its small diameter, the impeller can supply large volumes of air and is therefore suitable for building into small ventilation units, such as air curtains for example. Efficiency of up to 65% can be achieved.
Figure 4: The air flow through a cross-flow fan

A. How does one produce a system line in the diagram? Flow
Figure 5: Curves in a typical fan diagram System lines The duct system’s pressure requirement for various air flows is represented by the system line. The fan’s working point is indicated by the intersection between the system line and the fan curve. This shows the air flow which the duct system will produce. Each change of pressure in the ventilation system gives rise to a new system line. If the pressure increases, the system line will be the same as line B. If the pressure reduces, the system line will be the same as line C instead. (This only applies if the rotational speed of the impeller, i.e. the revolution count, remains constant).
a) Mark the point on the fan curve (1) where the pressure is 1 in.wg (250 Pa) and the air flow is 3000 cfm (1416 l/s). Enter the same value in the formula above to obtain a value for the constant k. k = ΔP/qv2 = 1/30002 = 0.0000001 b) Select an arbitrary pressure reduction, for example 0,4 in.wg (100 Pa) , calculate the air flow and mark point (2) in the diagram. q = 0,4/(0,00000011) = 1907 cfm

Figure 7: Increase or reduction of the fan speed
To obtain the same air flow as calculated, one can in the first case (where the system line corresponds to B) quite simply increase the fan speed. The working point (4) will then be at the intersection of system line B and the fan curve for a higher rotational speed. In the same way, the fan speed can be reduced if the actual system line corresponds to line C.

c) Plot in the two new points (2 and 3) and draw in the new system line. The new working point (4) is located at the intersection between the fan curve and the new system line. This diagram also indicates that the pressure increase causes a reduction of the air flow to approximately 2300 cfm (1085 l/s). Flow
Figure 8: Pressure differences at different rotational speeds
In both cases, there will be a certain difference in pressure from that of the system for which the dimensioning has been calculated, and this is shown as DP1 and DP2 respectively in the figure. This means that if the working point for the calculated system has been chosen so as to give the maximum degree of efficiency, any such increase or decrease of the fan’s rotational speed will reduce the fan’s efficiency.
Theory Efficiency and system lines To facilitate the selection of a fan, one can plot in a number of considered system lines in a fan diagram and then see between which lines a particular type of fan should operate. If the lines are numbered 0 to 10, the fan will be completely freeblowing (maximum air flow) at line 10 and will be completely choked (no air flow at all) at line 0. This then means that the fan at system line 4 produces 40% of its free-blowing air flow. Pressure
Flow
Figure 9: System lines (0-10) in a fan diagram Each fan’s efficiency remains constant along one and the same system line. Fans with backward-curved blades frequently have a greater efficiency than fans with forward-curved blades. But these higher levels of efficiency are only achievable within a limited area where the system line represents a weaker air flow at a given pressure than is the case with fans with forward-curved blades. To achieve the same air flow as for a fan with forward-curved blades, while at the same time maintaining a high level of efficiency, a fan with backward-curving blades in a larger size would have to be selected. Efficiency (η) η max (backward-curved) η max (forward-curved)

It is assumed in the fan diagram that the fan’s connections to the inlet and outlet are designed in a specific way. There must be at least 1 x the duct diameter on the suction side (inlet) and 3 x the duct diameter on the pressure side (outlet).

Figure 11: Correctly installed duct fan If the connections are different from this, there could be a greater pressure reduction. This extra pressure drop is called the system effect or system dissipation, and can cause the fan to produce a smaller volume of air than indicated in the fan diagram. The following factors must be considered in order to avoid system dissipation: At the inlet

• The distance to the nearest wall must be more than 0.75 x the inlet’s diameter • The inlet duct’s cross-section must not be greater than 112% or less than 92% of the fan inlet • The inlet duct’s length must be at least 1 x the duct diameter • The inlet duct must not have any obstacles to the air flow (dampers, branching or similar) At the outlet • The angle at the reduction of the duct cross-section must be less than 15° • The angle at the enlargement of the duct cross-section must be less than 7° • A straight length of at least 3 x the duct diameter is required after a duct fan • Avoid 90° bends (use 45°) • Bends must be shaped so that they follow the air stream after the fan Specific Fan Power There are now stringent requirements to ensure that power consumption in a building is as efficient as possible so as to minimise energy costs. The Svenska Inneklimatinstitutet [Swedish Inner Climate Institute] has introduced a special concept known as the Specific Fan Power (SFPE) as a measurement of a ventilation system’s energy efficiency. The Specific Fan Power for an entire building can be defined as the total energy efficiency of all the fans in the ventilation system divided by the total air flow through the building. The lower the value, the more efficient the system is at transferring the air. The recommendations for public sector purchasing and similar are that the maximum SFPE should be 2.0 when maintaining and repairing ventilating units, and 1.5 for new installations.
Theory Heat recovery units
Heat is transferred by a rotating wheel between exhaust and supply air. This system is open and there is a risk that impurities and odours will be transferred from the exhaust to the supply air. This can be avoided to some extent a correctly designed ventilation system with the right pressure conditions or by positioning the fans in a preventing way. The degree of heat recovery can be regulated by increasing or decreasing the rotational speed. There is little risk of freezing in the heat recovery unit. Rotary heat exchange units contain moving parts. High efficiency (75-85%). Coil heat recovery units Water, or water mixed with glycol, circulates between a water coil in the exhaust air duct and a water coil in the supply air duct. The liquid in the exhaust air duct is heated so that it can transfer the heat to the air in the supply air duct. The liquid circulates in a closed system and there is no risk of transferring impurities from exhaust air to supply air. Heat recovery can be regulated by increasing or decreasing the water flow. Coil heat recovery units have no moving parts. Low efficiency (45-60%). Chamber heat exchangers A chamber is divided into two parts by a damper valve. The exhaust air first heats one part of the chamber, then the damper valve changes the air stream so that the supply air is heated by the warmed-up part of the chamber. Impurities and odours can be transferred from exhaust air to supply air. The only moving part in a chamber heat exchanger is the damper valve. High efficiency (8090%). Heat pipe This heat recovery unit consists of a closed system of pipes filled with a liquid that vaporises when heated by the exhaust air. When the supply air passes the pipes, the vapour condenses back into liquid again. There can be no transfer of impurities, and the heat recovery unit has no moving parts. Low efficiency (50-70%).
Counterflow plate heat recovery units The air streams (exhaust and supply air) pass in opposite directions through the entire heat recovery unit, which results in an efficient recovery of heat. exhaust air

supply air
The exhaust air and supply air pass on each side of a number of plates or lamellae. The exhaust- and supply air are not in contact with each other which results in low leakage. There may be some condensation in a plate heat recovery unit, so they need to be fitted with condensation drains. The drains should have a water seal to prevent the fans from sending the water back into the unit. Because of this condensation there is also a serious risk of ice formation, so some type of defrosting system is also needed. Heat recovery can be regulated by means of a bypass valve which controls the intake of exhaust air. Plate heat recovery units have no moving parts. High efficiency (50-90%).

In a ventilating unit, it is often economical to attempt to recover the heat which is contained in the exhaust air and use it to warm the supply air. There are several methods for achieving this type of heat recovery.

106 | Theory Heating coils
Water-heating coil The power input (kW) to a water-heating coil in a ventilating unit is: Q=
L · 1,2 · (t -t ) · (1-η) i u 3600
In most cases the outside air is colder than the required temperature for the supply air, so it is often necessary to warm the air before it enters the building. The air can be warmed in a heating coil, by using either a hot water, or an electric heating coil. Electric-heating coil
where L - airflow (cfm) ti - required supply air temperature, F(°C) tu - dimensioned outside air temperature, F(°C) η - efficiency of the heat recovery unit
An electric-heating coil consists of a number of enclosed metal filaments or wire spirals. They create an electrical resistance which converts the energy to heat. The advantages of the electric coil are: it has a small pressure drop, it is easy to calculate the power and it is inexpensive to install. The disadvantage is that the metal filaments have a considerable heat inertia so the electric battery has to be fitted with overheating protection. Water-heating coil
Water coil The hot water should be conducted in the opposite direction to the air, otherwise it will cool too quickly and the water coil’s warming of the air will not be as efficient.
Crossflow water-heating coils are the most common type of water-heating coils in ventilation units. The water flows at right angles and in the opposite direction to the air stream. The water is conducted from below and flows upwards through the coil, and this allows any air bubbles to collect at the highest point where they can be easily drawn off via a ventilating pipe. Water-heating coils have to be protected against ice formation to ensure they do not crack as a result of freezing. The greatest risk of this happening is actually when the air temperature is immediately below 0°C. Most water coils therefore have a frost guard which stops the intake of fresh air when there is a risk of freezing. Because still water freezes faster than flowing water, it is also usual to fit an internal pump which keeps the water flowing through the coils.
Air
Water
The air velocity through the coils, calculated for the entire front area, should be dimensioned to 390-985 ft/min (2-5 m/s). The water velocity should not be below 40 ft/min (0.2 m/s), as this could cause difficulties with venting. Nor should the water velocity be higher than 295 ft/ min (1.5 m/s) in copper pipes or 590 ft/min (3 m/s) in steel pipes, as this could lead to erosion of the metal pipes. Filters There are two reasons for using filters in an air-handling unit: to prevent impurities in the outside air from entering the building and to protect the unit’s components from contamination. An analysis of the impurities in the air indicates that among other things the air contains soot particles, smoke, metallic dust, pollen, viruses and bacteria. The particles vary in size from less than 1 µm to whole fibres, leaves and insects. It is thought that these pollutants are a significant contributing factor in the cause of many asthmatic and allergic conditions, and it is therefore important for people to protect themselves against them. Since as much as 99.99% of all particles in the air are smaller than 1 µm, it is necessary to use filters in a ventilation system that are adequately fine-meshed. The filter’s capacity to trap particles is called its Dust Holding Capacity and filters are often divided into three classes depending on this capacity: coarse filters, fine filters and absolute filters. Filter classes according ASHRAE 52.1-1992 Throwaway, washable and electrostatic filters .................................................. MERV1 to MERV4 Cartridge and pleated filters .................................................................................. MERV5 to MERV8 Box and bag filters ................................................................................................ MERV9 to MERV16 HEPA/ULPA Filters ............................................................................................... MERV17 to MERV20 The coarse filter essentially only traps particles larger than 5 µm, and has virtually no effect at all on particles smaller than 2 µm. This means, therefore, that it does not trap soot particles, which are the most prevalent impurities in the outside air. Fine filters should be fitted in a ventilation unit instead. The best fine filters work effectively with particles larger than 0.1 µm, and therefore trap the most important impurities in the outside air.
Theory Pressure drop The pressure drop caused by a completely clean filter is called the start pressure drop, and this is somewhere between 0,32 in.wg (80 Pa) and 0,48 in.wg (120 Pa) for fine filters. After impurities have been trapped by the filter, the pressure drop will increase and the air flow will be reduced. Eventually there will be a pressure drop which makes the filter no longer usable. For fine filters this will be between 0,8 in.wg (200 Pa) and 1,0 in.wg (250 Pa). It is usual for filters in a unit to be fitted with some kind of filter monitor which constantly measures the pressure drop caused by the filter. This can give a signal when a pre-set pressure drop has been reached and it is time to replace the filter. In any event it is advisable to replace the filter twice a year, irrespective of whether or not the final pressure drop has been reached, so as to prevent the dirt in the filter becoming a breeding ground for bacteria. Suppliers of filters have been debating for a long time as to whether glass fibre or synthetic fibre provides the best filter material. Some research has been carried out, but without any clear results. It appears, however, that glass fibre filters maintain a better Dust Holding Capacity throughout their working life. Just as important as the selection of the filter material is the need to ensure that there is a good seal around the filter to prevent dirt and dust passing around the edge. The filter housing should be designed so that repeated filter replacements can be made without any space developing between the filter and the housing. It is also important to protect the filter from moisture as this can alter the characteristics of the filter fibres and impair its Dust Holding Capacity. Glass fibre filters are more susceptible to the effects of moisture than synthetic filters.

A normally damped room in a nursing home, measuring 1060 ft3 (30 cub.m), is to be ventilated. According to the information in the catalogue, the directional supply-air terminal device fitted in the ceiling has a sound pressure level (LpA) of 33 dB(A). This applies to a room with a space damping equivalent to 107 ft2 (10 sq.m) Sabine, or 4 dB(A). A) What will the sound pressure level be in this room, 3,28 ft (1 m) from the diffuser? The sound pressure level depends on the room’s acoustic properties, so first of all it is necessary to convert the value in the catalogue to a sound power level (LWA). Fig.14 shows that ΔL (space damping) = LpA - LWA LWA = LpA + ΔL LWA = 33 + 4 = 37 dB(A)
ACOUSTICS Basic principles of sound Before we discuss the connection between the sound power level and the sound pressure level, we must define certain basic concepts such as sound pressure, sound power and frequency. Sound pressure Sound pressure is the pressure waves with which the sound moves in a medium, for instance air. The ear interprets these pressure waves as sound. They are measured in Pascal (Pa). The weakest sound pressure that the ear can interpret is 0.00002 Pa, which is the threshold of hearing. The strongest sound pressure which the ear can tolerate without damage is 20 Pa, referred to as the upper threshold of hearing. The large difference in pressure, as measured in Pa, between the threshold of hearing and the upper threshold of hearing, makes the figures difficult to handle. So a logarithmic scale is used instead, which is based on the difference between the actual sound pressure level and the sound pressure at the threshold of hearing. This scale uses the decibel (dB) unit of measurement, where the threshold of hearing is equal to 0 dB and the upper threshold of hearing is 120 dB. The sound pressure reduces as the distance from the sound source increases, and is affected by the room’s characteristics and the location of the sound source. Sound power Sound power is the energy per time unit (Watt) which the sound source emits. The sound power is not measured, but it is calculated from the sound pressure. There is a logarithmic scale for sound power similar to the scale for sound pressure. The sound power is not dependent on the position of the sound source or the room’s sound properties, and it is therefore easier to compare between different objects. Frequency Frequency is a measurement of the sound source’s periodic oscillations. Frequency is measured as the number of oscillations per second, where one oscillation per second equals 1 Hertz (Hz). More oscillations per second, i.e. a higher frequency, produces a higher tone. Frequencies are often divided into 8 groups, known as octave bands: 63 Hz, 125 Hz, 250 Hz, 500 Hz, 1000 Hz, 2000 Hz, 4000 Hz and 8000 Hz. Sound power level and sound pressure level There is a link between a sound source’s sound power level and the sound pressure level. If a sound source emits a certain sound power level, the following factors will affect the sound pressure level: The position of the sound source in the room, including the direction factor (1), the distance from the sound source (2) and the room’s sound-absorbing properties, referred to as the room’s equivalent absorption area (3). 1) Direction factor, Q The direction factor indicates the sound’s distribution around the sound source. A distribution in all directions, spherical, is measured as Q = 1. Distribution from a diffuser positioned in the middle of a wall is hespherical, measured as Q = 2.
Q = 1 In centre of room Q = 2 On wall or ceiling Q = 4 Between wall or ceiling Q = 8 In a corner Figure 12: The distribution of sound around the sound source
Theory 2) Distance from sound source, r
With the following values
where r indicates the distance from the sound source in metres.
r=1 Q = 2 (fig. 12)
A material’s ability to absorb sound is indicated as absorption factor a. The absorption factor can have a value between ‘0’ and ‘1’, where the value ‘1’ corresponds to a fully absorbent surface and the value ‘0’ to a fully reflective surface. The absorption factor depends on the qualities of the material, and tables are available which indicate the value for different materials. A room’s equivalent absorption area is measured in ft2 (m2) and is obtained by adding together all the different surfaces of the room multiplied by their respective absorption factors.
and information about the room’s dimensions, you can calculate the equivalent absorption area with the help of figure 13. Equivalent absorption area (m2)
3) The room’s equivalent absorption area, Aeqv
In many instances it can be simpler to use the mean value for sound absorption in different types of rooms, together with an estimate of the equivalent absorption area (see figure 13). 4) Equivalent absorption area based on estimates
Room volume (m3)
If values are not available for the absorption factors of all the surfaces, and a more approximate value of the room’s total absorption factor is quite adequate, an estimate can be calculated in accordance with the diagram below. The diagram is valid for rooms with normal proportions, for example 1:1 or 5:2.
Equivalent absorption area (m2)
Use the diagram as follows to estimate the equivalent absorption area: calculate the room’s volume and read off the equivalent absorption area with the correct mean absorption factor, determined by the type of room, see also table 1.
room with high attenuation factor room with damping normal room less hard room hard room
The equivalent absorption area is therefore 4 m2. It is now possible to use figure 3 to establish the difference between the sound pressure and the sound power.
LpA - LWA = 0 LpA = 0 + LWA Enter the LWA value which has already been calculated. LpA = 0 + 37 = 37 dB(A) A) The sound pressure level (LpA) one metre from the diffuser in this particular nursing home room is therefore 37 dB(A)
Room volume (m3) room with high attenuation factor room with damping normal room less hard room hard room
The less damped (harder) the room is, the higher the actual sound pressure level will be in comparison with the value indicated in the catalogue.

With the help of the factors previously described, it is now possible to calculate the sound pressure level if the sound power level is known. The sound pressure level can be calculated by means of a formula incorporating these factors, but this equation can also be reproduced in the form of a diagram. When the diagram is used for calculating the sound pressure level, you must start with the distance in metres from the sound source (r), apply the appropriate directional factor (Q), and then read off the difference between the sound power level and the sound pressure level next to the relevant equivalent absorption area (Aeqv). This result is then added to the previously calculated sound power (see also the example on page 113).
Calculations of reverberation time If a room is not too effectively damped (i.e. with a mean absorption factor of less than 0.25), the room’s reverberation time can be calculated with the help of Sabine’s formula: V T = 0,163 · Aeqv

Figure 14: Diagram for estimating the sound pressure level Near field and reverberation field Near field is the term used for the area where the sound from the sound source dominates the sound level. The reverberation field is the area where the reflected sound is dominant, and it is no longer possible to determine where the original sound comes from. The direct sound diminishes as the distance from the sound source increases, while the reflected sound has approximately the same value in all parts of the room.
Figure 15: Direct and reflected sound The reverberation time indicates the time it takes for the sound level to reduce by 60 dB from the initial value. This is the echo effect one hears in a quiet room when a powerful sound source is switched off. If the reverberation time is measured precisely enough, the equivalent absorption area can be calculated.
Theory Several sound sources To establish the total sound level in a room, all the sound sources must be added together logarithmically. It is, however, often more practicable to use a diagram to calculate the addition or subtraction of two dB values. Addition The input value for the diagram is the difference in dB between the two sound levels which are to be added. The dB value to be added to the highest sound level can then be read off the scale.
Example of addition There are two sound sources, 40 dB and 38 dB respectively. 1) What is the value of the total sound level? To add to the higher level, (dB)
To add to the higher level, (dB)
Difference between the levels to be added, (dB)
The difference between the sound levels is 2 dB and, according to the diagram, 2 dB must be added to the highest level. 1) The total sound level is therefore 42 dB. Difference between the levels to be added, (dB)
Figure 16: Logarithmic addition Subtraction The input value for the diagram is the difference in dB between the total sound level and the known sound source. The y scale then shows the number of dB that have to be deducted from the total sound level to obtain the value for the unknown sound source.
Example of subtraction The total sound level is 34 dB in a room fitted with both supply and exhaust ventilation systems. It is known that the supply system produces 32 dB, but the value for the exhaust system is not known. 2) What is the sound level produced by the exhaust system? To deduct from the total level (dB)

112 | Theory Adjustment to the ear
NR Curves El nivel de presion sonora
Because of the ear’s varying sensitivity at different frequencies, the same sound level in both low and high frequencies can be perceived as two different sound levels. As a rule, we perceive sounds at higher frequencies more easily than at lower frequencies. A filter The sensitivity of the ear also varies in response to the sound’s strength. A number of so called weighting filters have been introduced to compensate for the ear’s variable sensitivity across the octave band. A weighting filter A is used for sound pressure levels below 55 dB. Filter B is used for levels between 55 and 85 dB, and filter C is used for levels above 85 dB. Attenuation (dB)

Table 2: Damping with the A filter There are also other ways of compensating for the ear’s sensitivity to different sound levels, apart from these filters. A diagram with NR curves (Noise Rating) shows sound pressure and frequency (per octave band). Points on the same NR curve are perceived as having the same sound levels, meaning that 43 dB at 4000 Hz is perceived as being as loud as 65 dB at 125 Hz. Sound attenuation Sound attenuation is principally achieved in two ways: either by absorption or by reflection of the sound. Attenuation by absorption is achieved by internal insulation in ducts, by special silencers or by means of the room’s own sound absorption. Attenuation by reflection is achieved by forking or bending, or when the sound bounces back from a supply-air device into the duct, which is referred to as end reflection. The degree of sound attenuation can be calculated by using tables and diagrams presented in the relevant supplier’s technical documentation.
Theory Air distribution products There are essentially two ways of ventilating a building: ventilation by displacement and ventilation by diffusion. Ventilation by diffusion is the preferable method for supplying air in situations requiring what is known as comfort ventilation. This is based on the principle of supplying air outside the occupied zone which then circulates the air in the entire room. The ventilation system must be dimensioned so that the air which circulates in the occupied zone is comfortable enough, in other words the velocity must not be too high and the temperature must be more or less the same throughout the zone. Ventilation by displacement is chiefly used to ventilate large industrial premises, as it can remove large volumes of impurities and heat if properly dimensioned. The air is supplied at low velocity directly into the occupied zone. This method provides excellent air quality, but is less suitable for offices and other smaller premises because the directional supply-air terminal device takes up a considerable space and it is often difficult to avoid some amount of draught in occupied areas.
Ventilation by diffusion The air is blown in from one or more air streams outside the occupied zone.
The theory section which follows will discuss what happens to the air in rooms ventilated by diffusion, how to calculate air velocity and displacement in the room, and also how to select and position a directional supply-air terminal device correctly in the premises. Ventilation by diffusion
Ventilation by displacement
An air stream which is injected into a room will attract, and mix together with, large volumes of ambient air. As a result, the air stream’s volume increases while at the same time the air velocity is reduced the further into the room it travels. The mixing of the surrounding air into the air stream is termed ‘induction’.
Air which is somewhat cooler than the ambient air flows at low velocity into the occupied zone.
Occupied zone
Figure 19: Induction of the surrounding air into the air stream. The air movements caused by the air stream very soon mix all the air in the room thoroughly. Impurities in the air are not only attenuated but also evenly distributed. The temperatures in the different parts of the room are also evened out. When dimensioning for ventilation by diffusion, the most important consideration is to ensure that the air velocity in the occupied zone will not be too high, as this will be experienced as a draught.
The occupied zone is that part of the room normally occupied by people. This is usually defined as being a space 50 cm from an outer wall with windows, 20 cm from other walls, and up to 180 cm above the floor.

114 | Theory Air stream theory
α = the discharge angle The discharge angle According to ASHRAE’s Handbook (AHRAE,1996) the distribution of an air stream has a constant angle of 20-24° (22° on average). The shape of the vent, the geometry of the room and also the number of vents all have an effect on the discharge angle. Diffusers and valves with plates or other details which spread the air can produce a wider discharge angle, but even after a relatively short distance from the valve opening, these air streams have a distribution of between 20 and 24°.
The figure below shows an air stream that is formed when air is forced into a room through an opening in the wall. The result is a free air stream. If it also has the same temperature as the rest of the room, it is referred to as a free isotherm stream. To begin with, this section will only deal with streams of this type. Distribution and shape The air stream actually consists of several zones with different flow conditions and air velocities. The area which is of most practical interest is the main section. The centre velocity, the velocity around the centre axis, is in inverse proportion to the distance from the diffuser or valve, i.e. the further away from the diffuser the slower the air velocity. The air stream is fully developed in the main section, and the prevailing conditions here are the ones that will principally affect the flow conditions in the room as a whole.

Figure 20: The main section of the air stream, the centre velocity vx and discharge angle. The shape of the diffuser or valve opening determines the shape of the air stream. Circular or rectangular openings produce a conic (axial) stream, and this also applies to very long and narrow openings.

To produce a completely flat air stream, the opening must be more than ten times as wide as it is high, or nearly as wide as the room so that the walls prevent the stream widening out laterally. Radial air streams are produced by completely circular openings where the air can spread in all directions, as is the case with a supply-air diffuser.

Conical Radial Flat Figure 21: Different kind of air streams
Theory Velocity profile It is possible to calculate mathematically the air velocity in each part of the stream. To calculate the velocity at a particular distance from the diffuser or valve, it is necessary to know the air velocity at the diffuser/valve outlet, the shape of the diffuser/valve and the type of air stream produced by it. In the same way, it is also possible to see how the velocities vary in every cross section of the stream. Using these calculations as the starting point, velocity curves for the entire stream can be drawn up. This enables one to determine the areas which have the same velocity. These areas are called isovels. By checking that the isovel corresponding to 0.2 m/s is outside the occupied zone, one can ensure that the air velocity will not exceed this level in the normally occupied areas.
